The change of the control technologies 2011 from users’ view
Bochum, Germany, November 21, 2011 - The fair SPS/IPC/Drives in November 2011 in Nuremberg bids with newest technologies for users. However, how can the impact of the users, the machine-builders on the technological change be currently und detailed determined?Quest TechnoMarketing covered with scarcely 250 machine-builders in 10 machine-building industry sectors the changes intended by these machine-builders in the use of the control technologies this year.
These changes are creating positions of the control technologies:
Three control technologies, i.e. PC technology, operator panel with integrated control system (BwC) and the integrated control platform (Ist) prove as attractive control technologies in this year’s change because these technologies are attracting new users and applications (blue bars in the chart).
Two control technologies keep stable in the change this year, remaining in use only slightly changed (green bars). These are the CNC and the microprocessor control (MP), which is frequently an in-house solution.
PLC and contactor-based control technology (C), however, are losing applications this year being substituted by other control technologies (red bars).
It shows up clearly this year that the machine-builders regard integrated control technologies such as PC, operator panel with integrated control system, control system platform as attractive preferring them in the change. So integrated control technologies are attractive in the change of this yearl
The percentages in the chart cover the respective number of change-willing machine-builders regarding the control technologies concerned. Machine-builders, which do not modify anything in the control technology this year, are not considered.
Quest TechnoMarketing, Bochum, London, has developed this approach to determine the impact of the users on the technological change.
This analysis is comparable with the voter transition analysis in the context of parliamentary elections. Similar to the voter transition analysis that records the exchanges of the voters among the parties, the analysis of Quest TechnoMarketing makes the changes among the control technologies visible.
While the voter transition analysis starts after the election, our analysis, however, starts „before the election“, referring to the planning and intentions of the following eight to twelve months. Before market shares of technologies and suppliers have changed, the dynamics of these changes are already announced in this analysis.
This is the analysis’ benefit for machine-builders and manufacturers likewise.
These trends are covered in the study „What the machine-builders will change in the automation technology 2011“. Highlights, table of contents and budget of the study in English and German are available on http://www.quest-technomarketing.com.

Rising world market shares of the 10 largest automakers
From 2011 to 2012 the worldwide motor vehicle production rose by 5.2%. That was connected with a noticeable change of the world market shares among the 10 largest automakers. Three changes are crucial.
Quest TechnoMarketing has investigated the internationalization of the worldwide automobile production since 2000 and published some results in the Quest Trend Magazine.
Now this long-term trend analysis has been amended by the actual changes from 2011 to 2012…

The German machinery industry is divided into three groups - new in the Quest Tr …
Compared with large industries such as chemistry or motor vehicle industry the machinery industry is rightly considered as medium-sized. However, it is divided into three groups that shift the medium-size character in the background.
Quest TechnoMarketing investigated the industry structure of the German machinery industry and published the result in the Quest Trend Magazine. In particular for the manufacturers of automation technology it may be useful to adjust the products for…

Structural changes in the course of the worldwide industrial production and the …
The Quest Trend Magazine has analyzed the course of the worldwide industrial production in the last 30 years. Three structural changes became visible. They are forming the economic situation also these days.
The industrial production of the USA, Japan, Germany and the European Union showed an altogether continuous growth in the 20 years from 1980 to 2000. Economic crises with a decline in industrial production occurred in an interval of…

German machine-builders have been shifting their export markets since the world …
The still dominating role of the European Union countries for the machine export has dramatically been relativized since 2008. And even the export shares into the BRIC countries show up noticeable shifts.
The turnover of the German machinery industry achieved its crisis low with 67.5 index points (value index of the German Federal Statistical Office) at the beginning of 2010. Then started a rapid upward movement slightly exceeding with 137.6 at…

Latest Feedback of the German Machinery Industry on Industry 4.0 - New Report in …
Along the market survey from Quest TechnoMarketing about the engineering of the machine automation until 2017 the machine-builders also assessed “what Industry 4.0 is supposed to mean for the engineering of the machine until 2017”.
80% of the investigated machine-builders in the ten sectors of the German machinery industry provided their feedback to this question. The following numbers refer to these machine-builders.
The open question without further specifications invited to a…
Electric linear actuators have been growing for 10 years
Bochum, July 14, 2010. During the last 10 years from 2001 to 2010 the use of electric linear actuators in the German machinery industry has increased fivefold.
So the portion of the machine-builders using electric linear actuators at the machines increased from 3,5% to 19%.
Linear actuators produce a straight-line resp. translational motion. So e.g. the hot glue nozzle of a packaging machine can be guided straight-lined across a paper…
RFID - constantly and throughout the machinery industry implemented
Bochum, July 5, 2010. This year 14% of the machine-builders intend to implement RFID at the machines.
RFID stands for radio frequency identification and provides the wireless identification of goods, semi-manufactures or workpieces in the industrial sector.
Last year 15% of the machine-builders wanted to implement RFID at the machines. So RFID shows a constant implementation during the last two years.
This implementation is taking place with all or almost all of…
Intensified interest in application-optimised I/O modules
Bochum, June 15, 2010. The machine-builders are intensified interested in application-optimised I/O modules this year. This confirms the trend to fine-tuning the control and drive technologies that determines the changes in the automation technology this year.
With 11% each tenth machine-builders intend to change to application-optimised I/O modules this year. That is an increase in relation to the previous year by more than one third as this value was 8%.
What application-optimised…
Panel PC benefits from the current trend to fine-tuning the control technology
Bochum, 7th June 2010. Machine-builders prefer fine-tuning the control technology this year. This means to improve the consisting control technology at the machines instead of changing the control technology. The Panel PC benefits from this current trend.
Panel PC means operator panel with integrated control system. Compared with other control technologies such as PLC, PC, microprocessor control, CNC or contactor-based control technology the Panel PC shows the highest portion with new…
